Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
The public is more concerned with quality-of-life issues, with the most important determinants of a healthy community being low crime rates and a child-friendly neighborhood environment. Although employment opportunities are important, many are low-paying, no-benefit service positions that are inadequate to support family life. Although the food may be expensive, most cities have safe food and water supplies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Unfortunately, telephone surveys would probably not be effective because many persons no longer have landlines but rely on cell phones. There would be no easy way to obtain the appropriate telephone numbers. A mail survey would be expensive and time consuming and probably would receive few responses because participants would be asked to think, write, and act to return the survey. Observing without letting persons know they are being observed borders on unethical. However, interviewing persons previously involved and reviewing previously gathered data would be possible.
